Masayoshi Son's SoftBank 30-Year Vision

By chance,

I was reading about Masayoshi Son's SoftBank 30-year vision..


and there was a passage I liked, so I'm keeping it here.

To be honest.. with most of the content (the strategy, the forecasting method, and so on) I didn't feel much resonance.. 

But the ultimate thread — the direction — feels not so different.





Einstein said it too.

A person exists for others.
More than anything,
that person's smile and joy
is simply one's own happiness.
For the sake of people.
And for the countless strangers
bound to us by the tie of empathy.

For countless strangers, a person exists.

Mother Teresa said it too.

The greatest suffering in this world is
the pain of those who
become alone, are not needed by anyone,
and are not loved.

That is the most painful thing.
Lonely and unneeded by anyone.
